Welcome to SPEAR, the Static Predictive Energy Analysis Tool based on Intel RAPL.

The tool will be developed for my bachelor-thesis "Predictive, static energy consumption analysis based on experimentally determined energy models"

Modern computers, especially in high computing applications, require a lot of energy. Data centres, which handle all of our modern cloud-infrastructure, are trying to save every last bit of energy to reduce costs. Even though energy seems to be a problematic factor regarding cost and environment, most developers are not well aware about the energy-consumption of their software. Either trough missing information about their used architecture or through the abstraction their used language implements.

To work towards filling this knowledge-gap, this bachelor-thesis provides a tool for static analysis of LLVM-IR code, which will get populated with energy-consumption profiling from the Intel RAPL interface.
